After the airport firewall problem we’ve told you about last year, and the $500,000 prize to improve airport security we have something else for you. It’s TSA Gangstaz` funny video on airport security. With ingenious and clever lyrics that’s what I call awesome. Just make sure your boss won’t hear it as it’s not really “safe for work”.

“Belt buckle money clip coins keys wallet purse/put some cheese on it run it through.”

Now that’s good thinking. New-York based company, Clear, would like to hear our opinions on airport security and timing for checking in. They are offering a $500,000 prize, the “Clear prize”, to anyone that can come up with an idea that will make airport security checks quicker and simpler for passengers.

If you want to win (yes you/me are entitled) then you’d better come up with something that will make it 15% quicker and would cost less than 25cents per passenger.

Rumors say that a solution could be mass spectroscopy that can easily trace forbidden substances including explosives and drugs. Another one they may be thinking of is terrahertz scanning that can see far beyond the naked eye.
